Cultural Council Plans
"For next year a new approach
is being planned by the Cultural
Councill", announced Lawrence
Van Heerden, newly elected chair-man
of the Cultural Council.
The council is attempting to or-ganize
several "cultural clubs"
which will promote an aspect of
culture and work under the aus-pices
of the Cultural Council.
Already an art club has been
, rganiged M1.1 97(' Ond film
clubs are being organized.
Vice President
Committee Formed
Five members comprising the
vice president's standing commit-tee
for 1957-58 have recently been
selected by Bob Reed, newly elect-ed
Senate vice president.
Lynn Weaver, sophomore, was
appointed to serve a second term
on the committee. Others are Al
Christensen, sophomore; Marge
Donahue, freshman; Bryan Harris,
sophomore; and Evan Rogers,
sophomore.
These students were chosen ac-cording
to their interests and abil-ities,
stated Reed.
The purpose of this committee is
mainly to assist the vice-president
in planning freshmen week and
prospective students days.
Reed said that plans for the
freshmen retreat next fall are now
under way.
Mr. Van Heerden expressed the
hope that enough interest can be
generated on campus to organize
both a drama and a science club.
He asks that interested students
contact him.
The fourth Wednesday of each
month will be set aside for cul-tural
activities. By working with
the various clubs the Cultural
Council hopes to plan a variety,
of musical, artistic and film even-ings.
Mr. Van Heerden also announced
that by next fall there should also
be provision for the relay of ap-propriate
music in the bookstore
and the coffee shop.
StudentPaintings
On Exhibit
The paintings on exhibition in
the student lounge represent the
work of this year's art depart-ment.
The pictures which are both
abstract and realistic include still
life subjects, and portraits. Each
one is the result of at least four
weeks work. For many, this has
been their first experience in oil
painting. Among those whose
works are being shown are: Jim
Shelton, Andrew Julie, Gordon
Becker, Les Funk, Lois Howat,
Loraine Lundberg, Arlene Lund-berg,
and Rita Balzarini.
Newly appointed chairman of
the athletic council for next year's
Student Senate is Robert Johnson,
college sophomore, from Seattle,
Wash.
Chosen as council members thus
far for the coming year are Stu
Luckman, Les Borms, Joel Stolte,
and Marilyn Junker. Two places
are left open, one for a freshman
and one for a cheerleader. These
will be filled next fall.

Before We Conclude
We are in the midst of another finals week; the time for evalua-tion
of the efforts that have been exerted over the quarter by the
student and instructor. With a year's end comes an evaluation of the
total program of the school.
This has been a dramatic year for Bethel. Changes that will have
lasting importance to the school have been made.
In the academic realm the secondary education training program
and the political science major seem particularly important. The physi-cal
plant of the school is being continually worked with and the addi-tions
to the dormitories are an important advancement. The student
activities program has seen beneficial improvement in the sports pro-gram
as Bethel helped form the new conference and as a compara-tively
large number of athletes have participated for four years. The
student assembly has made changes in their constitution that will
provide for more effective government. Important changes in personnel
have been made. Several fine instructors have been added but the
school is losing the stimulating and inspiring leadership of others.
These are a few of the events that seem significant now, but it
is only over a period of time that we can appreciate the total effect
of each.
Also this year there has arisen sharp differences of opinion on
important subjects. With these differences have come aroused emo-tions
but also a rethinking of the particular ideas and ways. There
has been reorganization of our own and desires for better understand-ing
of other's views. Perhaps in all cases not the best decisions were
made but we must not try to limit the freedom of expression and
the differences of opinion that are at the core of the learning experience.
Christian Liberal Arts
by Marjorie Peterson
That our particular denomination approves training for its leaders
is evidenced by the existence of this school. The seminary and the
college were established to equip Christians with tools by which they
might better serve the Christ they have promised to obey. Our consti-tuency
expects that courses in Bible, music, and how to run a Sunday
School will train a Christian for his place in the local church.
However, for some reason, this school has developed into some-thing
more than a training school—it has become a liberal arts college
as well. And it may come as a surprise to some that the liberal arts
program is concerned with producing a changed individual.
This change will come because the liberal arts education teaches
a student to think for himself.
To Christians who think that the truth was settled once and for
all by the council of Nicaea or by John Alexis Edgren or at the last
meeting of the board of education, it sounds like heresy to say that
students should be encouraged to think for themselves. After all, think-ing
may be dangerous, unsettling; necessarily it involves a change in
the student. But I believe that it produces changes in the Christian
individual which are significant and vital.
First, then, education should bring the Christian to a clearer under-standing
of the difference between faith and reason. The ignorant man
is the one who tries to prove logically that God exists. Nothing dis-credits
Christianity faster than trying to prove the truth of faith
by poor or false reasoning.
The Christian who is ignorant of his own limitations also brings
discredit to the Christian faith. All of us have heard the well-meaning
but ignorant believer loudly expounding some question which he
simply is not equipped to discuss. Education will not give a man any-thing
of eternal significance to say to our world—that message is
from God. But in an educated culture, the Christian cannot be too
careful that his ignorance does not spoil the effectiveness of that
message to thinking people.
The other area in which I believe education should produce a
change in the individual is in his ability to live a creative life.
It is essential that each Christian examine what he believes to
see if it is truth or merely something another man has told him. Edu-cation
will foster in the student a longing for truth and an unwilling-ness
to take another's answer as his own until it actually becomes his
own. No doubt it came as a shock to most of you as it did to me the
first time I realized that my pastor was fallible. As great a shock
came when I heard two of our seminary professors on opposite sides
of an argument about the nature of inspiration. Apparently one of
them had to be wrong—or perhaps both—and I began to see more
clearly the complex nature of truth. When the Christian begins to
think and seek for himself truth becomes part of him, not something
which he merely parrots after someone else.
The creative student may learn to express himself through music,
art, writing, or speaking. A look at the average Sunday School paper
will show the need for creative and inspiring writing in the Christian
sphere. Our churches are glutted with music which lacks emotional
depth and impact—music which sets the feet tapping rather than in-spires
the soul.
But to be creative requires much training and hard work. Curiously,
many ignorant Christians expect God to do this work for them. The
glib prayer, "0 Lord, bless now our efforts for Thee," is idle mockery
when there has been little or no effort. Education will teach a Christian
what his creative ability can produce if he is willing to do the hard
work it requires.
These changes which the liberal arts education should produce in
the Christian individual may not please those who did not expect them.
It was recently announced in a message as a dependable fact
that Bethel students often do not fit into their local churches when
they return. If this is true, I consider it one of the highest compliments
that could be paid this institution.
When I return to my church perhaps I won't fit perfectly into
the traditional mold—I hope not! And I hope none of us will for we
should have been reshaped by the liberal arts education into individuals
—being more able to use all our abilities and efforts to serve our God.

•Christians in Action
Dear Editor:
How can a person tell a Chris-tian
when he sees one ? Is the
only way Christians can be recog-nized,
the fact that they DON'T
smoke, drink, swear, dance or
go to the show. Great Christian
leaders say Christianity is a posi-tive
thing; it is a way of life.
Yet a stranger on Bethel's cam-pus
would doubt that this school
was "the house of God".
I agree that the students DON'T
indulge in worldly habits like
smoking, drinking, etc., but what
do they do in their spare time ?
Is the way time is spent in the
dorms, "just chatting" the way a
Christians should utilize his spare
time ? Haven't we, the Christian
students at Bethel, a moral and
spiritual responsibility to spend
our time more profitably than
"just chatting"? Isn't it the duty
of all Christians "to tell others
what Christ has done for them ?
Isn't the time spent "just chat-ting",
time which could be used
in the Lord's Service ? Are we,
the students of Bethel college
really striving to make our school,
"the house of God", to all who
come in contact with the school,
or are we using the excuse "Chris-tians
are human", and living just
about how we please ? I don't
know the answers to these ques-tions
but I certainly would like to
and I am turning to you, the Fac-ulty
and Students of Bethel Col-lege
for the answer.
Confused
°Band Awards?
Dear Editor:
I realized that this may be a
biased opinion because I am a
band member, but I feel there
should be some awards given for
student activity in the band.
It is evident that the band is
rated along with the male chorus
and choir because we are to ap-pear
in the program the last day
of school along with the two music
groups which did receive activity
awards.
There may be some very good
reasons for this not being done,
and if there are, I am certainly
interested in knowing what they
are.
Wayne Henry
(ed. note: Dean Anderson ex-plained
the reason band members
did not receive awards was an
oversight. He added that others
who deserved awards failed to be
recognized because of this same
reason. Plans are being made to
reorganize the awards system.)
LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS
by Dick Bibler
4--50 PROF SNARE too HIM TO GET THAT RPM INOR HE'D GET NO PIFIAMA
A Matter Of Time
(from the Gustavian Weekly)
"It is time that makes distinctions."—Aristotle
Time is running out on another year, and with the approaching
end we are again very conscious of the passage of time.
It seems that we as Americans and as college students might be
called `late-clock-watchers'—that is, we are not aware of time passing
until we near the end of a period or year. Until late, time for us does
nothing more than perhaps fight at a standstill. (It is amazing to note
how lawmakers can pass laws to conserve daylight, yet terrifying to
realize that not even the highest court in the land can extend the day-light
of a person's life.)
What we as `late-clock-watchers' do not realize is that time is a
movement towards an end. Time is not simply the continuance of
disconnected experiences, for time has a direction. Furthermore we are
accountable for every moment in time—a moment which has passed
and cannot be recovered—a moment from which God must rescue us.
Time, as Aristotle said, also makes distinctions. Each moment in
time is an opportunity for development. For although man does not
have control over creation he does have control of how he develops him-self.
When one becomes conscious of the urgency of the moment in the
movement of time, distinctions concerning proper choice of actions
must inevitably be made. Time then becomes the continuance of urgent
moments toward the end—which to the Christian is the spiritual union
of the individual with Christ.
Bells Are Tolling
by Astrid Barbins
Have you ever lived in a land
robbed of liberty ? Have you seen
free men turned into prisoners ?
Have you talked to honorable citi-zens
who have been reduced to
animal level, existing only on the
bare essentials of life ? Have you
ever thought that you could be
stripped of the robes of civiliza-tion
and culture and left alone in
a world of terror and fear ? If you
had been pushed down that far,
would any price be too great to
pay for a chance that you might
be free again ?
Many of us do not even consider
such a possibility. Those things
always happen to other people.
We read in newspapers and hear
ear reports of the vast number of
Hungarian people who went thru
these very experiences. Thousands
won their way to freedom, but
thousands like swine are shipped
to cold Siberia.
What can we do ? People are
tired of hearing clever statements,
they need understanding and love.
They must feel that there are
others who support freedom and
the rights of the individual. Do
we ignore their knocking because
our own problems are so big that
they demand our attention, or are
we so buried in insignificant mat-ters
that we miss our opportuni-ties
?
It would surely hurt us if some-started
hacking off our arms. Does
it hurt us when other Christian
suffer We are one body in Christ.
"Any man's death diminishes
me, because I am involved in man-kind,
and therefore never send to
know for whom the bell tolls; it
tolls for thee."

I was sitting there pondering,
thinking deep philosophical
thoughts—thoughts that probably
would have astounded Einstein to
such a degree that he would be
too humbled to come into my pre-sence.
My thoughts were of a
realm that was higher than a mere
mortal could ever comprehend. My
perspective was in such a scope
that I could perceive no one in the
same proximity as I. However, I
was brought quickly back to real-ity
when the book I was studying

A tense moment at the dugout in the Bethel - River Falls game.
Royals Drop Last
Macalester Wins 17-7
John Berg's and Jock Tierney's
home runs made a slight effect on
the game last Thursday as the
hard hitting Macalester boys
slammed the ball all over the park
to trump Bethel 17-7.
Stahnke fizziled out in the first
inning as the Scots piled up eight
runs. Pommerenke, taking over
was unable to stop them either.
Macalester ended the game with
twelve hits to Bethels ten.
The bright spot came for the
Royals in the seventh as they
scored four runs with Tierney
sending Borms around and Berg
hitting a homer after Albright
walked.
The day before was not the
brightest for Bethel either when
at Dunning field Brunzell gave up
ten hits to allow River Falls eight
runs to the Royals four.
The Royals gained only four
singles, Baurel hitting two. The
home team played the ball well,
making no errors to the other
team's four.
On May 13, Northwestern lacked
almost everything Bethel had in
hitting power as the team scored
19 runs with 17 hits against six
runs with four hits. After walking
four in the first, Borms settled
down to a fine game. Boosts came
along with a homer by Reynolds
and triples by Tierney and Erick-son.
Stahnke and Pommerenke pitch-ed
the first while Brunzell did the
second when on May 11, the Royals
took a double header from Beth-any
college 10-7 and 7-1.

Brunzell
Is Most
Valuable'
Just before the season closed
last Thursday the baseball squad
elected Ed Brunzell as the "most
valuable player" of the year.
Ed, a senior from Chicago, Ill.,
has been on the team for four
years. Playing in the catcher posi-tion
for two years, in a tight clutch
last year he took over the mound.
Since then he has played at both
positions, concentrating upon pitch-ing
this year. Ed has maintained
an excellent batting average, get-ting
20 hits for 49 at bats for a
.409 percentage this year. Besides
baseball, Ed played quarter back
on the football squad during his
years at Bethel.
Elected at the same time are
next years co-captains, Jack Tier-ney
and DeanBaurle. Jack played
center field this year while Dean
played first base.

Tennis Meets
Northwestern college bowed to
the Bethel tennis team in a lively
match on May 9, 5-3. Winning for
Bethel were Sension, Graham, Ben-ert
and Holtzhouse in singles and
a Pederson-Sension double team.
On May 13 Augsburg college
triumphed completely over our net
men with a score of 4-0.
Bethel's tennis team tied one
and lost one in the matches on the
May 4 and 6. In an abbreviated
match with Augsburg on May 6,
the team fared better. Only five
matches instead of the usual seven
or nine were played, with Bethel
winning two of them and gaining
a third point by forfeit to tie the
score at 3-3. Sension won easily
with a 6-1, 6-1 score, while Ben-ert
took his 6-4, 6-4.
On the fisrt date, Luther Col-lege
at New Ulm gained revenge
for their defeat at Bethel in an
earlier match when the Royals fell
at a 6-3 score. Winning though for
Bethel were doubles teams of Ben-ert
and Sension and in the single
matches, Holtzhouse and Benert.

Larpenteur
Standing before a district court
judge last Wednesday, Astrid Bar-bins,
college sophomore, took an
oath of allegiance, her last step
in becoming a United States citi-zen.
The citizenship papers which
"Ozzie" received are the result of
a process which began in Sept.,
1949, when she and her parents
and three brothers and sisters ar-rived
in Boston from Germany.
There her father had been pastor
in displaced persons' camps for
six years, following the escape of
the family, with the exception of
a brother in the service, from Lat-via.
After coming to the States,
"Ozzie" lived in North Carolina for
a 'year. But her home for the past
six years has been Cleveland,
where her father is pastor of a
Latvian Baptist church.
Her amazement at her fortune
to come to America has not worn
off. "I don't understand why I
was among the chosen people to
come to this land, while others like
me remained behind the Iron Cur-tain
with no hope at all," she says.
"I don't know why I should be al-lowed
to taste the goodness of
America, while others hunger for
a slice of bread and work in slave
labor camps."
All Frosh, Sophs
To Stay In Dorms
All full-time freshmen and so-phomores
will be required to stay
in the dorm next year unless other
arrangements are approved, stated
Elving Anderson, dean of stu-dents.
At the beginning of the next
school year the new dorm wings
are scheduled to be ready for oc-cupancy.
Upperclassmen and part-time
students may apply for the remain-ing
rooms, Dean Anderson said.
Reservations for dorm rooms
can be made with Miss Edith Lar-son
in the Business Office now.
Other questions students have will
be handled in the Students Affairs
office, Dean Anderson concluded.

Newest club on campus, the art

freshman, vice president; Terry
Benz, freshman, secretary; and
Rita Balzarini, junior, treasurer.
President Jim Sheldon stated
that the purpose of the club is to
stimulate an interest in art.
Membership, he added, is open
to those interested in art on var-ious
levels.
Advisor to the organization is
Eugene Johnson, Assistant Pro-fessor
of Art.

But she admits that, though ap-preciating
the great abundance of
things in this country, she had to
face a period of adjustment to a
new and in some ways unpleasant
way of life. And her citizenship
papers symbolize a oneness she
has gradually come to feel with
the American people.
At first, she says, she felt un-willing
to keep up with the rapid
pace of American life, and that
standards here were different. But,
she says, "I had to adjust my
values. I discovered that people
are all basically the same every-where.
They all gather and squan•

the expression is the only differ-ence."
"Ozzie's" plans include continu-ing

In the spring a commencement
tea in honor of the women gradu-ates
will replace the customary
spring banquet. The change was
made because of the large number
of formal banquets held in the

stated.
Plans are underway to have the
returning "big sisters" write wel-coming
letters this summer to
their "little sisters."

Before We Conclude
We are in the midst of another finals week; the time for evalua-tion
of the efforts that have been exerted over the quarter by the
student and instructor. With a year's end comes an evaluation of the
total program of the school.
This has been a dramatic year for Bethel. Changes that will have
lasting importance to the school have been made.
In the academic realm the secondary education training program
and the political science major seem particularly important. The physi-cal
plant of the school is being continually worked with and the addi-tions
to the dormitories are an important advancement. The student
activities program has seen beneficial improvement in the sports pro-gram
as Bethel helped form the new conference and as a compara-tively
large number of athletes have participated for four years. The
student assembly has made changes in their constitution that will
provide for more effective government. Important changes in personnel
have been made. Several fine instructors have been added but the
school is losing the stimulating and inspiring leadership of others.
These are a few of the events that seem significant now, but it
is only over a period of time that we can appreciate the total effect
of each.
Also this year there has arisen sharp differences of opinion on
important subjects. With these differences have come aroused emo-tions
but also a rethinking of the particular ideas and ways. There
has been reorganization of our own and desires for better understand-ing
of other's views. Perhaps in all cases not the best decisions were
made but we must not try to limit the freedom of expression and
the differences of opinion that are at the core of the learning experience.
Christian Liberal Arts
by Marjorie Peterson
That our particular denomination approves training for its leaders
is evidenced by the existence of this school. The seminary and the
college were established to equip Christians with tools by which they
might better serve the Christ they have promised to obey. Our consti-tuency
expects that courses in Bible, music, and how to run a Sunday
School will train a Christian for his place in the local church.
However, for some reason, this school has developed into some-thing
more than a training school—it has become a liberal arts college
as well. And it may come as a surprise to some that the liberal arts
program is concerned with producing a changed individual.
This change will come because the liberal arts education teaches
a student to think for himself.
To Christians who think that the truth was settled once and for
all by the council of Nicaea or by John Alexis Edgren or at the last
meeting of the board of education, it sounds like heresy to say that
students should be encouraged to think for themselves. After all, think-ing
may be dangerous, unsettling; necessarily it involves a change in
the student. But I believe that it produces changes in the Christian
individual which are significant and vital.
First, then, education should bring the Christian to a clearer under-standing
of the difference between faith and reason. The ignorant man
is the one who tries to prove logically that God exists. Nothing dis-credits
Christianity faster than trying to prove the truth of faith
by poor or false reasoning.
The Christian who is ignorant of his own limitations also brings
discredit to the Christian faith. All of us have heard the well-meaning
but ignorant believer loudly expounding some question which he
simply is not equipped to discuss. Education will not give a man any-thing
of eternal significance to say to our world—that message is
from God. But in an educated culture, the Christian cannot be too
careful that his ignorance does not spoil the effectiveness of that
message to thinking people.
The other area in which I believe education should produce a
change in the individual is in his ability to live a creative life.
It is essential that each Christian examine what he believes to
see if it is truth or merely something another man has told him. Edu-cation
will foster in the student a longing for truth and an unwilling-ness
to take another's answer as his own until it actually becomes his
own. No doubt it came as a shock to most of you as it did to me the
first time I realized that my pastor was fallible. As great a shock
came when I heard two of our seminary professors on opposite sides
of an argument about the nature of inspiration. Apparently one of
them had to be wrong—or perhaps both—and I began to see more
clearly the complex nature of truth. When the Christian begins to
think and seek for himself truth becomes part of him, not something
which he merely parrots after someone else.
The creative student may learn to express himself through music,
art, writing, or speaking. A look at the average Sunday School paper
will show the need for creative and inspiring writing in the Christian
sphere. Our churches are glutted with music which lacks emotional
depth and impact—music which sets the feet tapping rather than in-spires
the soul.
But to be creative requires much training and hard work. Curiously,
many ignorant Christians expect God to do this work for them. The
glib prayer, "0 Lord, bless now our efforts for Thee," is idle mockery
when there has been little or no effort. Education will teach a Christian
what his creative ability can produce if he is willing to do the hard
work it requires.
These changes which the liberal arts education should produce in
the Christian individual may not please those who did not expect them.
It was recently announced in a message as a dependable fact
that Bethel students often do not fit into their local churches when
they return. If this is true, I consider it one of the highest compliments
that could be paid this institution.
When I return to my church perhaps I won't fit perfectly into
the traditional mold—I hope not! And I hope none of us will for we
should have been reshaped by the liberal arts education into individuals
—being more able to use all our abilities and efforts to serve our God.

•Christians in Action
Dear Editor:
How can a person tell a Chris-tian
when he sees one ? Is the
only way Christians can be recog-nized,
the fact that they DON'T
smoke, drink, swear, dance or
go to the show. Great Christian
leaders say Christianity is a posi-tive
thing; it is a way of life.
Yet a stranger on Bethel's cam-pus
would doubt that this school
was "the house of God".
I agree that the students DON'T
indulge in worldly habits like
smoking, drinking, etc., but what
do they do in their spare time ?
Is the way time is spent in the
dorms, "just chatting" the way a
Christians should utilize his spare
time ? Haven't we, the Christian
students at Bethel, a moral and
spiritual responsibility to spend
our time more profitably than
"just chatting"? Isn't it the duty
of all Christians "to tell others
what Christ has done for them ?
Isn't the time spent "just chat-ting",
time which could be used
in the Lord's Service ? Are we,
the students of Bethel college
really striving to make our school,
"the house of God", to all who
come in contact with the school,
or are we using the excuse "Chris-tians
are human", and living just
about how we please ? I don't
know the answers to these ques-tions
but I certainly would like to
and I am turning to you, the Fac-ulty
and Students of Bethel Col-lege
for the answer.
Confused
°Band Awards?
Dear Editor:
I realized that this may be a
biased opinion because I am a
band member, but I feel there
should be some awards given for
student activity in the band.
It is evident that the band is
rated along with the male chorus
and choir because we are to ap-pear
in the program the last day
of school along with the two music
groups which did receive activity
awards.
There may be some very good
reasons for this not being done,
and if there are, I am certainly
interested in knowing what they
are.
Wayne Henry
(ed. note: Dean Anderson ex-plained
the reason band members
did not receive awards was an
oversight. He added that others
who deserved awards failed to be
recognized because of this same
reason. Plans are being made to
reorganize the awards system.)
LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS
by Dick Bibler
4--50 PROF SNARE too HIM TO GET THAT RPM INOR HE'D GET NO PIFIAMA
A Matter Of Time
(from the Gustavian Weekly)
"It is time that makes distinctions."—Aristotle
Time is running out on another year, and with the approaching
end we are again very conscious of the passage of time.
It seems that we as Americans and as college students might be
called `late-clock-watchers'—that is, we are not aware of time passing
until we near the end of a period or year. Until late, time for us does
nothing more than perhaps fight at a standstill. (It is amazing to note
how lawmakers can pass laws to conserve daylight, yet terrifying to
realize that not even the highest court in the land can extend the day-light
of a person's life.)
What we as `late-clock-watchers' do not realize is that time is a
movement towards an end. Time is not simply the continuance of
disconnected experiences, for time has a direction. Furthermore we are
accountable for every moment in time—a moment which has passed
and cannot be recovered—a moment from which God must rescue us.
Time, as Aristotle said, also makes distinctions. Each moment in
time is an opportunity for development. For although man does not
have control over creation he does have control of how he develops him-self.
When one becomes conscious of the urgency of the moment in the
movement of time, distinctions concerning proper choice of actions
must inevitably be made. Time then becomes the continuance of urgent
moments toward the end—which to the Christian is the spiritual union
of the individual with Christ.
Bells Are Tolling
by Astrid Barbins
Have you ever lived in a land
robbed of liberty ? Have you seen
free men turned into prisoners ?
Have you talked to honorable citi-zens
who have been reduced to
animal level, existing only on the
bare essentials of life ? Have you
ever thought that you could be
stripped of the robes of civiliza-tion
and culture and left alone in
a world of terror and fear ? If you
had been pushed down that far,
would any price be too great to
pay for a chance that you might
be free again ?
Many of us do not even consider
such a possibility. Those things
always happen to other people.
We read in newspapers and hear
ear reports of the vast number of
Hungarian people who went thru
these very experiences. Thousands
won their way to freedom, but
thousands like swine are shipped
to cold Siberia.
What can we do ? People are
tired of hearing clever statements,
they need understanding and love.
They must feel that there are
others who support freedom and
the rights of the individual. Do
we ignore their knocking because
our own problems are so big that
they demand our attention, or are
we so buried in insignificant mat-ters
that we miss our opportuni-ties
?
It would surely hurt us if some-started
hacking off our arms. Does
it hurt us when other Christian
suffer We are one body in Christ.
"Any man's death diminishes
me, because I am involved in man-kind,
and therefore never send to
know for whom the bell tolls; it
tolls for thee."

I was sitting there pondering,
thinking deep philosophical
thoughts—thoughts that probably
would have astounded Einstein to
such a degree that he would be
too humbled to come into my pre-sence.
My thoughts were of a
realm that was higher than a mere
mortal could ever comprehend. My
perspective was in such a scope
that I could perceive no one in the
same proximity as I. However, I
was brought quickly back to real-ity
when the book I was studying
dropped to the floor.

be humorous but the author was

A tense moment at the dugout in the Bethel - River Falls game.
Royals Drop Last
Macalester Wins 17-7
John Berg's and Jock Tierney's
home runs made a slight effect on
the game last Thursday as the
hard hitting Macalester boys
slammed the ball all over the park
to trump Bethel 17-7.
Stahnke fizziled out in the first
inning as the Scots piled up eight
runs. Pommerenke, taking over
was unable to stop them either.
Macalester ended the game with
twelve hits to Bethels ten.
The bright spot came for the
Royals in the seventh as they
scored four runs with Tierney
sending Borms around and Berg
hitting a homer after Albright
walked.
The day before was not the
brightest for Bethel either when
at Dunning field Brunzell gave up
ten hits to allow River Falls eight
runs to the Royals four.
The Royals gained only four
singles, Baurel hitting two. The
home team played the ball well,
making no errors to the other
team's four.
On May 13, Northwestern lacked
almost everything Bethel had in
hitting power as the team scored
19 runs with 17 hits against six
runs with four hits. After walking
four in the first, Borms settled
down to a fine game. Boosts came
along with a homer by Reynolds
and triples by Tierney and Erick-son.
Stahnke and Pommerenke pitch-ed
the first while Brunzell did the
second when on May 11, the Royals
took a double header from Beth-any
college 10-7 and 7-1.

Brunzell
Is Most
Valuable'
Just before the season closed
last Thursday the baseball squad
elected Ed Brunzell as the "most
valuable player" of the year.
Ed, a senior from Chicago, Ill.,
has been on the team for four
years. Playing in the catcher posi-tion
for two years, in a tight clutch
last year he took over the mound.
Since then he has played at both
positions, concentrating upon pitch-ing
this year. Ed has maintained
an excellent batting average, get-ting
20 hits for 49 at bats for a
.409 percentage this year. Besides
baseball, Ed played quarter back
on the football squad during his
years at Bethel.
Elected at the same time are
next years co-captains, Jack Tier-ney
and DeanBaurle. Jack played
center field this year while Dean
played first base.

Tennis Meets
Northwestern college bowed to
the Bethel tennis team in a lively
match on May 9, 5-3. Winning for
Bethel were Sension, Graham, Ben-ert
and Holtzhouse in singles and
a Pederson-Sension double team.
On May 13 Augsburg college
triumphed completely over our net
men with a score of 4-0.
Bethel's tennis team tied one
and lost one in the matches on the
May 4 and 6. In an abbreviated
match with Augsburg on May 6,
the team fared better. Only five
matches instead of the usual seven
or nine were played, with Bethel
winning two of them and gaining
a third point by forfeit to tie the
score at 3-3. Sension won easily
with a 6-1, 6-1 score, while Ben-ert
took his 6-4, 6-4.
On the fisrt date, Luther Col-lege
at New Ulm gained revenge
for their defeat at Bethel in an
earlier match when the Royals fell
at a 6-3 score. Winning though for
Bethel were doubles teams of Ben-ert
and Sension and in the single
matches, Holtzhouse and Benert.

Standing before a district court
judge last Wednesday, Astrid Bar-bins,
college sophomore, took an
oath of allegiance, her last step
in becoming a United States citi-zen.
The citizenship papers which
"Ozzie" received are the result of
a process which began in Sept.,
1949, when she and her parents
and three brothers and sisters ar-rived
in Boston from Germany.
There her father had been pastor
in displaced persons' camps for
six years, following the escape of
the family, with the exception of
a brother in the service, from Lat-via.
After coming to the States,
"Ozzie" lived in North Carolina for
a 'year. But her home for the past
six years has been Cleveland,
where her father is pastor of a
Latvian Baptist church.
Her amazement at her fortune
to come to America has not worn
off. "I don't understand why I
was among the chosen people to
come to this land, while others like
me remained behind the Iron Cur-tain
with no hope at all," she says.
"I don't know why I should be al-lowed
to taste the goodness of
America, while others hunger for
a slice of bread and work in slave
labor camps."
All Frosh, Sophs
To Stay In Dorms
All full-time freshmen and so-phomores
will be required to stay
in the dorm next year unless other
arrangements are approved, stated
Elving Anderson, dean of stu-dents.
At the beginning of the next
school year the new dorm wings
are scheduled to be ready for oc-cupancy.
Upperclassmen and part-time
students may apply for the remain-ing
rooms, Dean Anderson said.
Reservations for dorm rooms
can be made with Miss Edith Lar-son
in the Business Office now.
Other questions students have will
be handled in the Students Affairs
office, Dean Anderson concluded.
Art Club Elects
First Officers
Newest club on campus, the art
club, met May 12 to elect officers
and formulate a purpose.
Officers are Jim Sheldon, jun-ior,
president; Carl Holmgren,
freshman, vice president; Terry
Benz, freshman, secretary; and
Rita Balzarini, junior, treasurer.
President Jim Sheldon stated
that the purpose of the club is to
stimulate an interest in art.
Membership, he added, is open
to those interested in art on var-ious
levels.
Advisor to the organization is
Eugene Johnson, Assistant Pro-fessor
of Art.

But she admits that, though ap-preciating
the great abundance of
things in this country, she had to
face a period of adjustment to a
new and in some ways unpleasant
way of life. And her citizenship
papers symbolize a oneness she
has gradually come to feel with
the American people.
At first, she says, she felt un-willing
to keep up with the rapid
pace of American life, and that
standards here were different. But,
she says, "I had to adjust my
values. I discovered that people
are all basically the same every-where.
They all gather and squan•
der and love and hate. Perhaps
the expression is the only differ-ence."
"Ozzie's" plans include continu-ing
her education and becoming a
teacher.

BWA Plan
Fall Banquet
Next fall a big-little sis banquet

the major BWA activity, the old

a combined meeting on May 17.
In the spring a commencement
tea in honor of the women gradu-ates
will replace the customary
spring banquet. The change was
made because of the large number
of formal banquets held in the
spring, retiring president Lois Lar-son
stated.
Plans are underway to have the
returning "big sisters" write wel-coming
letters this summer to
their "little sisters."
